times I saw a green laser coming from the stands, Osweiler

Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly wants the Fighting Irish to trust themselves against Navy in their game in Jacksonville, Florida.Kelly believes indecisiveness has hurt the Irish (3-5) in a variety of ways. He says at times players havent trusted their talents, what theyve been taught and sometimes havent trusted teammates.So we talk about that openly as really a piece that still needs to grow within our football team. Some of that is just inexperienced players that have to trust in those three areas, and we just have to continue to work on those and be pretty transparent in talking about those things on a day-to-day basis, he said.Kelly, who may have set the tone when he couldnt decide on a starting quarterback to begin the season, pointed to the poor play on special teams against Miami. C.J. Sanders failed to run up and catch a punt that bounced and led to Miamis first touchdown.Hes a talented football player and he needs to trust his talents, Kelly said. When you trust your talents, you wont be indecisive. Youll go up and get that football, and you wont suffer the consequences -- and our team wont suffer the consequences.The Irish head into the annual game with a losing record for the first time since 2007, when Navy won 46-44 in triple overtime to end Notre Dames NCAA-record winning streak against the Midshipmen at 43 games. The Irish had 1-7 record heading into that game. Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo believes the Irish are better than their record.Not one of their better years, but theyre still Notre Dame and still really good, he said. Its going to be a tough game for us.The Midshipmen (5-2) were ranked No. 22 until losing 52-45 to South Florida , although they rallied back from a 42-14 deficit. Niumatalolo hopes the Midshipmen can rebound like they did following a 28-14 loss to Air Force on Saturday, when they shocked then sixth-ranked Houston 46-40.We tell them the same thing; whether you win or lose youve got to move on. Hopefully, theyll bounce back, he said.Other things to know about the Notre Dame-Navy:LOSING RECORD: Notre Dame is 8-5 all-time vs. Navy when it has a losing record and 3-4 when it has a losing record and the Midshipmen have a winning record.SCORING DROUGHTS: Opponents have gone on scoring binges against the Irish. Texas scored 17 straight points, Michigan State 36, Duke 21, Stanford 17 and Miami 27. Kelly said the key to stopping such runs is a consistent running game.Thats why we run hot and cold at times offensively, because we havent established the consistency at running the football, he said.THIRD-DOWN CONVERSIONS: South Florida converted on its first 12 third-down chances against Navy. Were looking at some things schematically, personnel-wise, things we can do to improve on that, Niumatalolo said. Tackling in the open field is definitely an issue.Navy is the seventh worst team in the nation on stopping opponents on third down, succeeding only 48.1 percent of the time. The Irish offense ranks 96th on third down conversions, succeeding on 36 percent of their chances.CHANGE OF VENUE: Jacksonville is the eighth American city besides South Bend where Notre Dame has faced Navy. Its played the Midshipmen in Baltimore (22 times), Chicago (1), Cleveland (11), East Rutherford, New Jersey (12), Landover, Maryland (1), Orlando (3) and Philadelphia (3). The two teams also have played twice in Dublin, Ireland. In 2018, they will play in San Diego and in 2020 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford . Theyve never played in Annapolis.HOMEWARD BOUND: Thirteen Navy players and 11 on Notre Dame are from Florida.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org Cheap Air Max TN Black .

MEXICO CITY -- Houston Texans quarterback Brock Osweiler said a green laser that was shined onto the field and into his eyes during the Texans 27-20 loss to the Oakland Raiders in Mexico City was very distracting.Throughout the game, someone in the stadium shined what appeared to be a green laser pointer on the field when the Texans were on offense.Im still gathering information on what exactly took place, but all I know at this point is, when we were out there on the field on offense, there were multiple times I saw a green laser coming from the stands, Osweiler said. There were a couple of times it definitely hit me in the eye. And it was very noticeable.Osweiler refused to say the laser was the difference-maker in the game, but he said, Certainly, having a laser zoomed in on your eyeball definitely affects how you play.Texans heaad coach Bill OBrien would not comment on the laser, saying that was more of a question for security.ddddddddddddTexans players werent the only ones who noticed.Yeah, that was kind of weird, Raiders defensive end Khalil Mack said. I saw that, and I thought I was in the Twilight Zone.Osweiler said he had never experienced anything like that while playing football.Ive never experienced a laser being shined in my eyeball during a football game, let alone a professional football game in the National Football League, Osweiler said. So I think that was certainly disappointing. But at the end of the day, thats not why we lost the game. That was just one small factor. But it certainly affected how I was playing. ' ' '
